Bump for anyone who hasn't seen it. In the process of changing the route to around a 450-500 mile trip instead of 850. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Put me on the list. I have a lot on my plate right now with the wedding, depending on what day you decide on I may be able to make this happen. :thumbup:

Psht, they don't need you there on your birthday. This could be your birthday present to yourself lol.

Speaking of new tires, I need a new rear tire real soon. After this ride, if the weather lets it happen, I will have a new one put on. Damn thing is almost toast after 5500 miles.

Sorry guys, been busy this weekend and the computer wasn't working very well. But basically what I'm thinking is to start the route the same and then basically cut straight across through Madison, WI, take that to Lake Michigan, and cruise back south. Makes the trip almost exactly 500 miles. Hopefully I will get a chance to "make" the route so you can see but hopefully you guys get the idea.

Is there a backup date in case of a rain out. Forecast is calling for rain Saturday.

500 in a day...thats a little rough...doesn't leave much talk and mingle time!
